Readjustment Needed.

The fee and salary commission, composed of Judge Timothy E. Howard, of South Bend, A. V. Daily and William Wilkins, is investigating the county offices throughout the state and will submit a report at the next meeting of the legislature. The investigations so far disclose a great disparity in salaries. In some counties, officials are doing much more work than in others for less compensation. The commission will recommend that salaries shall be adjusted in proportion to the work required of the respective county officials.
